exhibition in Copenhagen was less characteristic of
the Russian people, because the workman in part had
often been carried away by French designs and patterns,

Russian people proper. They seem here to have

individuality, and especially to have preferred to present proofs
of the talent of the Russians in imitation, rather than
their remarkable gifts of compelling the foreigners on
their own soil to create artistic effects in the Russian
style and spirit.
